TV/radio personality Sammy Walsh pictured with Ice Prince's 3 year old son, Jamal at his birthday yesterday. People are making snide comments about the kiss, saying that if she's not related to the boy, then she shouldn't kiss him like that. Maybe they are related? But is there anything wrong with it?[size=13pt] Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...[/size]

You know the dial-up connection your grandparents use to get on the Internet — the one that sounds like R2-D2 being fed through a meat grinder? It seems antiquated, but when it comes to Americans getting online, access hasn’t advanced much beyond that. Much of the rich world, including countries like Estonia and Slovakia, look at the United States’ Internet chops and guffaw.

Nowhere is the difference of Internet capability more pronounced than between the U.S. and South Korea. The Asian nation is almost 70 percent wired with fiber optic cabling, compared to a pitiful

7.7 percent stateside.

Fiber optics work by pulsing light through glass the size of a human hair — it’s the latest and greatest in ultra browser power. It allows streaming to work 100 times faster than the average connection in America. And South Korea isn’t the only one blowing past the United States when it comes to fiber connectivity. Japan, Estonia, Norway, Sweden and Slovakia are all leaving the U.S. in the dust, according to data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The U.S. used to lead the world in telecom infrastructure, now “it’s not even close to the top 10 in Internet use,” says Rudolf van der Berg, an economist at the OECD.

“Fiber is future-proof.”

Kelly Mason, manager of Global Communications and Public Affairs at Google

But, how? Turns out the self-proclaimed capitalist haven isn’t very competitive when it comes to telecommunications. In fact, it’s pretty damn monopolistic, as one high-profile court battle recently showed. In most places, Americans choose between a cable company, like Comcast, or a telephone provider, like Verizon. In others, you’ve just got one choice. That’s because cable giants such as Comcast or Time Warner dominated select municipalities, which was required to build sufficient infrastructure, experts say. Not until the 1992 Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act did the partitioning stop, but the lines were already drawn.

Ah, but competition is on the horizon. Particularly from Google, which is moving in fast to get fiber to the masses. Already, the company that runs your life online has brought fiber to Kansas City, Missouri; Austin, Texas; and Provo, Utah. Four more are on the way: Atlanta; Charlotte, North Carolina; Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina; and Nashville, Tennessee. Research shows that areas with fiber get a boost in gross domestic product (GDP) of about 1.1 percent. This equals $1.4 billion for the 14 communities that were studied by the Fiber to the Home Council. The big upshot is that fiber can’t be overloaded — which means you can watch Netflix while streaming the Super Bowl and futzing around with your emails. In other words: “Fiber is future-proof,” says Kelly Mason, manager of Global Communications and Public Affairs at Google.

Of course, we don’t need Google to save our sorry butts. The government has its ways of lighting a fire under telecom behemoths. The Federal Communications Commission just changed the definition of broadband: Only connection speeds faster than 25 Mbps will count — up from 4 Mbps. Seems arbitrary, but it should force companies to speed up their service in order to legally call it “broadband.” And it’s not just good news for Internet connections. In Sweden, mobile companies use existing fiber networks to tack on 4G LTE coverage to places they’d never dream of going before, says van der Berg. Cooperation — interesting concept, huh, America?

As the business and political elite met at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, there was much talk of rising inequality, and many references to the "wealthiest 1%". The phrase conjures up images of billionaires living on private islands - but is that who the 1% really are?

A report predicting that the wealthiest 1% will soon own more than the rest of the world's population.

It drew on research from the bank Credit Suisse, which estimated total global household wealth in 2014 at $263tn (£175tn).

That's wealth, not income. It is calculated as assets minus debt.

Obviously billionaires like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg are part of the 1%. But who else is? According to Credit Suisse, another 47m adults - everyone with wealth of $798,000 (£530,000) or more.

That includes many people in rich countries who may not regard themselves as particularly wealthy, but who simply own their house outright or have paid off a significant chunk off their mortgage.

Among them are:

18m people in the US - the country with more members of the 1% than any other
3.5m people in France
2.9m people in the UK
2.8m in Germany
Germany has the biggest economy in Europe. The reason it has fewer wealthy people - by Credit Suisse's measure - is that it has lower levels of home ownership.

There are two Asian countries with more than a million people in the top 1%:

4m in Japan
1.6m in China
The country with the largest proportion of its population in the 1% per capita is Switzerland. One in 10 Swiss residents - 800,000 out of 8m - have assets worth more than $798,000.

But Credit Suisse's report doesn't tell the whole story.

It doesn't take into account how much it costs to buy goods in each country, for example. Half a million pounds might buy a one-bedroom flat in central London, but in other countries it could buy a mansion.

It also doesn't take into account income. As a result, many well-paid young people in Western countries may fall into the bottom 50% of wealth - either because they still have student debt to pay off, or because they know how to live well, and spend all their income.

If entry into the 1% does not guarantee a jet-set lifestyle, this is even truer when it comes to the cut-off point for the wealthiest 10% - for this you only need $77,000 (£50,000) of assets.

And the figure required to be in the top half of the world's wealthiest is just $3,650 (£2,400).
